Literacy CurriculumProject (12 points) Due before Wednesday August 5 via email
After a demonstration in class, students will work independently with the GoBook User Guide to learn the tools and then demonstrate knowledge through applied skills. Students will demonstrate competency in utilizing the authoring tools by designing and creating standards-based customized curriculum activities that are also reflecting learning from the meaningful literacy homework. Each activity has a connection to the Frameworks, and targets a specific skill.
The User Guide is intended to explain GoBook and provide a complete understanding of what the features are. While it will help a user get started with the menus and tools, it does not attempt to provide complete step-by-step instructions for each method. We will be making samples and tutorials, including a QuickStart GoBook. Some will be provided with the app, and others will be available for free from the in-app store.
The GoBook team here at Attainment is working hard on both documenting and improving GoBook, and feedback from you or your students would be much appreciated. We can also be your Help desk to troubleshoot or explain functionality. You can contact me directly with questions or comments.
Thanks much,
Marcy
